Holy sh--! I passed with a 182/75, All I wanted to do was pass, I may have some contacts. I just moved into an apartment in Northern New Jesey. So my results were sent to my mom in Central Jersey. She called me on the phone and said "do you want me to open it" As the drama played out from taking the exam on July 11, I got my result today on August 4. I think the guys in Phili are trying to move faster. I nervously and bravely had to stop the suspense by telling her "open it" She even handedly read the entire report telling me some of my weaknesses. Step 2 and 3 Im sure will be like another 12 round boxing match, even if you win you take a beating. Id like to thank p53 with my favorite motto, robin who I had differences with, drpkaur for being strong, studying, young doc, Dr Pak, Dr Virgo and everyone else who was helpful. To find out what I did look at my post "Just took the beast between July 11 and July16, thank you . Almost forgot my main man tolito!!! Also I prayed tothe almighty.

in school the second most satisfying score for me besides the top score (which i never experienced by the way) was the minimum passing score, makes you feel very lucky
i am happy for you man and good luck on the coming exams

wow. thats a lot of questions. Thanks for the response, so the exam is that hard huh??? Gosh, i hope i am as lucky as u and get that 75, cause right now i'm doing a lot of questions too, way more than just q-bank. Did u feel like u were guessing a lot in the exam, or did u feel pretty confident as u were answering the questions. I'm so terrified of this exam, i did NBME and got a 160, i am now doing a whole lot of questions and re-reading FA, u havent mentioned FA, was it worth ur while??? Thanks again.

I read 2004 edition of First Aid times 2 and later bought the 2006 edition which I read times 2 and regretted buying since I couldnt look info up as fast in the 2006 edition since it was partially subject and partially systems based..{Its kind of like do you want to be the first one test driving and buying a brand NEW car model although I think it had a few more pics} [For those who know cars]

Dear mjl1717: Perhaps your score is not as glammy as others, but you have earned the respect and admiration of most of us (which on my list is more valuable than a 90+)..
Good luck on your future steps and lets meet again in the step 2ck forum..
Regards
jj
